    Setanta Sports Ireland has announced that it has won the rights to broadcast 33 English Premier League games in the Republic of Ireland next season.

    Setanta UK was forced into administration last month after it failed to meet payments to the English and Scottish premier leagues.

    The closure of Setanta UK meant the loss of 200 jobs but Setanta Sports Ireland has continued to broadcast in the Republic where it employs 180 people.

    AdvertisementChief executive Niall Cogley said the news would clear up any 'confusion' about the future of Setanta in Ireland and that subscribers would continue to receive to 'best value premium sports service in Ireland'.
